nazzurro19 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 right im confused n i cant make my mine up now, basically i have a wepr power up kit , short fmic , mani etc but after seeing steveGT thread with his crank oil seal going whilst running a hybrid has kinda put me off fitting one lolmy idea was nice short fmic and a nice hybrid turbo = little lag,lotsa power but then i was doing more research and now found out that a hybrid at 1.2/3 bar is the same as like a td04 at 0.8bar power wise but the td04 is a little laggy but how much laggy is it ? so is it now worth me selling my power up kit n gettin a td04 kit ? cause the way i see it is , same power but less boost = less strain on engineand is it true that you cant run 1bar on a td04 with a standard engine ? god im so confused on what to do !! oh and what ever option is best i will be running externally cheers guys please help lol i wish i knew someone with a td04 so i could see the difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can run a stock engine with higher than 1 bar of boost but it isnt advised because it normally doesnt last long! Steves was through a crank seal not being replaced, not just because he was running a hybrid. IMO its entirely down to personal preference. Ive got both turbos.. JUst gonna dabble a bit with both Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maz90 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I dont think theres much lag on the td04,not as much as everyone makes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 hmm i wana go hybrid for the fact that its like instant power n im pretty much complete now with the build but then i know my engine isnt the strongest and i dont want it to die lol but then after running the strip last weekend maybe a td04 will give me a better time ?? hmm i like the hybrid route as its easier to install etc ARGH!! ima have a look on tgtt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
